Kauw before 1922

"Kauw" is a black and white woodcut print by Johannes Frederik Engelbert ten Klooster, created before 1922. The print depicts a crow in a striking silhouette, positioned on the right side of the composition, with a spider hanging from a web on the left. This simple yet powerful depiction of a crow, often associated with death and mystery, highlights the artist's keen interest in natural forms and their symbolic connotations. The stark black and white contrast further emphasizes the theme of darkness and the interplay between predator and prey. The print is a testament to ten Klooster's mastery of woodcut technique, which he employed to create this visually arresting and evocative piece.
